Good Morning Everyone!!

Today over at 2 Sketches 4 You - Kazan has created this awesome sketch for us to play with! And the sponser this week is Clear and Simple Stamps - love how fun the images that they have are! I had a chance to use their Gourmet Darling set and loved the different possibilities that were all in one stamp set. Kazan's sketch reminded me of the front of an apron - so I created a little apron card with the sentiment: "What's cooking" and created the background paper with the words: "yum yum yum yum..." etc. with one of the stamp sets from the set. I love that you can see right where you are stamping with the clear stamps and can easily position your stamp to create background paper in a flash :) I had a lot of fun creating this card - especially because I made it for a friend of mine who is a terrific cook and will be graduating from culinary school next year! It is so fun to make a card for someone in mind

:) Here is the front of the card: To make it - I created an A2 card and the took a 2" circle and traced it on either side (so that it covered half the top corner) and then cut it.

and here it is opened up:

and here is a close up of the background paper with the "yum yum yum" stamped and the little pocket:

OK Sankari, you have totally outdone yourself this time!!! This is fantabulous! Extracallariffic fantabulous! See, it was so good I made up my own adjectives because the English language was not enough! :)

My, oh MY! That is SO FANTASTIC!!! All the details you paid to it was definitely worth it. I've seen other apron cards, but this really stands out, hands down, as the best one I've ever seen!! Too fab! :>

Hi, my name is Sankari and I am the lucky mom of 2 darlings. I love being with my family, laughing and learning. I am an Ayurvedic consultant, a professor and also love to stamp and scrapbook.
